Something that I've heard and maybe someone can clear up is that if you breed one type of dog (let's say a male Yorkie) to another (let's go with a female Poodle- Yorkipoos) for a long enough time that the bitch won't stick when you try to breed her back to her own kind. I'm not saying that this is true just wondering if anybody knows.
And before anybody else starts hopping on the band wagon about how unethical it is to mix breeds. Let's not forget where our beloved Yorkies derived from.We have a cross breed of Skye, Paisley, and Clydesdale terriers. So if people weren't mixing things up a little some where we wouldn't have our sweet little babies today. A lot of breed that we do have now are actually made by mixing and matching. The only difference is when they were doing this a hundred or more years ago, they were trying to derive a dog with a specific purpose. ie our Yorkies were suppose to catch rats and mice (not my princess). Today people are just doing is to make cute things to stick in a purse.
